In my tank recently, I've found 2 lots of pairs of these little white blobs with black on them on 2 different plants in my tank. I have no idea what they are, and would really like to know, since I of course don't want anything dangerous in my tank.
They're white maybe about 0.3cm blobs, and they have a bit of black on their backs. When I see them, they are always in pairs (though that may just be luck). I do have a picture but I can't find my camera cable.
Does anyone have any ideas what these could be? I thought they could be baby snails, but I'm not sure. I always take them out when I see them, just in case they're harmful to the fish.
Thank you!
 
Okay, I got my camera to work :lol:

maybe fry?

Can't be, I only have platies and endlers in my tank and all their fry are swimming around, not sticking to leaves :lol:

eggs maybe?

The only egg layers I have in my tank are shrimp, but I don't think these are shrimp eggs.

need a clearer pic of one tbh

I tried, but the further away I get, the clearer the pic, but the less you can see them -.-
 
What shrimp do you have?

Red cherry shrimp. Though I think 3 have died and the last one is a male. I also didn't buy any with eggs in the first place.

I found 2 when I was putting bogwood into the tank, and my mum came and took a look and says that they're snail eggs. Still, I found them in a pair again. Very strange.
I think I'll put a bit of veg in and see what I can 'catch' :lol:
 
definately not shrimp eggs as they carry them until born they are not laid anywere. could be snail eggs? what snails do you have or is it just pest snails
